Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a detection device comprising a detector configurable using an adapter.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a detection device in which it is possible to take into account several variant configurations in order to significantly reduce the number of detector references.
  • the detection device of the invention may be in the form of two distinct variants.
  • the mechanical selection means comprise conductive pins and a mechanical keying device positioned differently on each adapter relative to the pins.
  • the type of output signal of the detector is selected from PNP NC, NPN NC, NPN NO, PNP NO, DC two wires NO or DC two wires NC.
  • the mechanical selection means mechanically cooperate with the configuration means so as to adapt the configuration of the detector to the type of output signal selected by the selection means.
  • the mechanical selection means comprise conductive pins and a mechanical keyway movable pivotally relative to each other.
  • the movable part of the adapter comprises a configuration piece operable in quarter-turn rotation about a main axis of the device.
  • the configuration means comprise a lip made on the configuration piece and able to cooperate with a switch made on the detector in order to configure the output signal of the detector.
  • the configuration assigned to the detector corresponds to NO or NC.
  • the external connector is of the M12 type in accordance with IEC60947-5-2.
  • the invention consists of a detection device comprising a configurable basic universal detector 6, 60 comprising a printed circuit 600 and an adapter 7, 70 positioned on the detector making it possible to configure various detector parameters.
  • the detector 6, 60 is therefore always identical and its adapter 7, 70 makes it possible to give it a desired operating configuration.
  • the principle of the invention is to use an adapter 7, 70 positioned or positionable on the detector 6, 60 and which comprises at its input means for configuring the detector on which it is assembled and at the output means for selecting a type of detector. detector output signal to the terminals of an external connector.
  • an M12 connector of a connecting cable intended to be connected to a detector comprises four female pins 50 organized in a square and a mechanical keying device 51.
  • the first pin (1) of the connector M12 corresponds to the plus (+) terminal of the power supply
  • the second pin (2) of the M12 connector corresponds to the NC output (for "Normally Closed", that is to say normally closed)
  • the third pin (3) of the M12 connector corresponds to the minus terminal ( -) of the power supply
  • the fourth pin (4) of the connector M12 corresponds to the output NO ("Normally Opened", that is to say normally open).
  • the operating configuration of the device will be different and may be PNP type NC, NPN NC, NPN NO, PNP NO, DC ("Direct Current” that is to say say DC current) two NO or DC two-wire NC wires.
  • the Figure 6A shows for example the connections made to obtain a PNP NO output configuration while the Figure 6B shows the connections made to obtain an NC NPN configuration.
  • the Figure 7A shows for example the connections made to obtain a PNP NO output configuration while the Figure 7B shows the connections made to obtain an NC NPN configuration.
  • the figure 8A shows for example the connections made to obtain a PNP NO output configuration while the Figure 8B shows the connections made to obtain an NC NPN configuration.
  • the Figure 9A shows for example the connections made to obtain a PNP NO output configuration while the Figure 9B shows the connections made to obtain an NC NPN configuration.
  • the invention consists in using an adapter 7, 70 comprising only two contiguous pins 10, 11, male output, and a mechanical keying 12 whose position may differ from the two pins 10, 11 by mechanical adjustment or by providing several different adapters.
  • the two pins 10, 11 of the adapter are connected on one side to connection pads 602 made on a first face of the printed circuit 600 of the detector 660 and on the other side are free and connectable to the connector M12. output of the adapter 7, 70.
  • connection pads 602 made on a first face of the printed circuit 600 of the detector 660 and on the other side are free and connectable to the connector M12. output of the adapter 7, 70.
  • the Figures 4A to 4D show the adapter 7, 70 with its keying 12 in different positions thus allowing to assign different operating configurations to the detector.
  • the two connected pins of the complementary connector M12 will be different as indicated by the rectangle in the corresponding figures 5A to 5D.
  • the device will thus be configured in PNP NC (which is equivalent to the DC two-wire NC) on the Figure 4A , in NPN NC on the Figure 4B , in NPN NO (which is equivalent to two-wire DC NO) on the figure 4C , and in PNP NO on the figure 4D .
  • configuration means allow for their part to assign a specific configuration to the detector 6, 60.
  • the detector can indeed be configured in NO or NC or in simple range (Sn ) or increased range (Sn +) (see Figures 6A to 9B ).
  • Other detector configuration parameters can also be set such as dam or reflex mode for an optical or ultrasonic detector.
  • NO or NC configuration of the detector 6, 60 must be consistent with that reported at the output of the adapter 7, 70 by adjusting or choosing the position of the polarizer 12 relative to the pins 10, 11 of the adapter 7, 70 .
  • the invention is divided into two distinct variants.
  • the first variant ( Figures 1A and 1B ) is to use a single adapter 7 which is set by the user with respect to the detector 6 to impart the desired operating configuration to the detection device.
  • the second variant ( FIGS. 2A to 2C ) consists of employing several separate adapters 70 each intended to assign a unique and determined operating configuration to the detection device.
  • the adapter 7 is for example captively attached to the detector 6 while in the second variant, each adapter 70 is replaceable by another according to the desired operating configuration.
  • an adapter 7 positioned on the detector 6, for example permanently fixed thereto, said adapter 7 comprising the two contiguous pins 10, 11 soldered directly on the printed circuit board. 600 and the complementary mechanical key 12 of the keying 51 of the M12 connector.
  • the position of the polarizer 12 can then be mechanically adjusted, for example by a quarter turn, in order to select a type of output signal of the detector 6 to the pins of the external connector M12.
  • the adjustment can for example be performed using a movable configuration part 13 of the adapter 7 that can be rotated by a quarter turn around the axis of the device and which rotates the actuator 12 mechanical relative to the two pins 10, 11 fixed.
  • the mechanical key 12 is for example formed on the configuration piece 13.
  • the rotation of the configuration piece 13 of the adapter and therefore of the mechanical keying device 12 causes the rotation of a lip 702 ( Figure 1B )
  • This lip 702 is capable of cooperating with a switch 601 welded to the underside of the printed circuit 600 of the detector, this switch 601 making it possible to configure the NO or NC detection to be attributed to the detector and which corresponds to the type of output signal selected at the output of the adapter.
  • the detector will be configured respectively in NO or NC.
  • the adjustment of the position of the polarizer at the output of the adapter therefore makes it possible to automatically cause a corresponding action on the switch at the input of the adapter.
  • other configuration means may be used to replace the lip 702 and the switch 601.
  • each adapter 70 makes it possible to select a type of output signal which can be PNP NO, NPN NO (equivalent to the DC two-wire NO), PNP NC (equivalent to DC two-wire NC) or NPN NC as described above.
  • each adapter 70 may comprise means for cooperating with particular connection pads 603 made on the printed circuit 600 of the detector.
  • the adapter 70 may or may not include one or more pins 700, 701 for connecting for example two by two connection pads 603 made for example in pairs on the second face of the printed circuit 600 of the detector 6.
  • the detector will have different configuration, that is to say NO or NC, single range (Sn) or increased range (Sn +), dam mode or reflex mode.
